yes, a lot of very talented people walked away back then because of all the drama but i think all those that were involved wether deeply or just as bystanders would feel much different today about the discussions that were had now that some time has past.
egos were much bigger back then and the "look at me" aspect isnt as big a deal to modders today.
back then there were a petty few looking to make a name for themselves no matter what it took even if that meant taking credit for the work of others or they would not be willing to give proper credit or recognition to another modder and i dont think that would be accepted by todays community and they would be properly ostracised for it.
the modders today didnt have that atmosphere to deal with and modders are more willing about sharing with the community and teaching others then worrying about who gets credit for discovering something so there just isnt that individual competativeness between modders to keep everything secret and it has been replaced with cooperation and sharing of ideas and technics
